Indeed. 

You see some of these too early top 25's? A lot of teams without QB's in front of OU and UNC has me scratching my head. 

Elite QB or not, the Bamas, Clemsons, Ohio States, they are always going to be ranked very high. Hype and prestige for one, a roster full of 4* and 5* recruits for two. Even if they aren't going to be fielding a proven college QB, they're going to be fielding a kid who was one of the top QB recruits in the country and he's going to be surrounded by elite talent. No one was excited about the prospects of Mac Jones starting this year and he still put up video game stats because of an elite OL, and elite RB, and elite receivers including the Heisman winner.

Yeah he kind of comes off as dumb country gent in a way. Seems like a good motivator and a very good coach but doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed.

Watched a video on 247 about his "motivation" techniques. Seems he was always playing the "we're the underdog, but we can do this" card at Clemson. This year, and years prior the underdog because the expected winner and that is why I believe they lost as bad as they did. His motivation techniques were not working this year. So, he tried to stir poo up to maybe make it work? I dunno. Whole thing was odd from every perspective.

Meh. That was a knock on OU to start the season. If you don't have a proven QB, regardless of the talent you deserve to be knocked down a few spots. Clemson deserves to be knocked down a few spots, so does Ohio State. Especially since both are losing a lot including their QB's. I'll give Saban the benefit of the doubt, because Bama has earned it. Clemson and Ohio State have not earned that benefit of the doubt. Especially since Ohio State might be starting a True Freshman or an average 4 star at QB. While Clemson is starting DJ, they still lose a lot of weapons. Plus, their defense wasn't exactly balling out of control.

Clemson is going to be starting a kid who was a consensus top three overall recruit and who saw playing time as a true freshman throwing for nearly 1000 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INTs, and nearly a 70% completion percentage. All the elite teams lose a lot every year. They just replace them with more Parade All-Americans.

Sure. I like DJ, but Clemson was average as hell on defense this year. They weren't really good by any means. We'll see how DJ does without those weapons too.

Dabo is a motivator, a recruiter and cheerleader.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
